Exploding Galley hose and faucet AKA new shower in galley
Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:04 pm
First the hot water hose exploded under the galley sink. Fortunately I was there at the time and caught it before the dish soap stored under the sink could enjoy much of a steam sauna. Saw other blog entries on it and fixed it. Duct tape under new double clamp hoses - Ace is my favorite place
Next the side and top of the silver plastic faucet cracked, exploding water in galley. Duct taped it quickly. Wiped off my guests after offering them Lauren Shower Gelee. Cleaned up the interior.
Now the bottom of the faucet head cracked, exploding water. Duct taped it also - all in matching silver.
Not much left to duct tape; it's practically the whole faucet head. The pressurized system is just forcing breakage farther up the chain.
Personally, I prefer to shower in the head.
Any ideas to solve this problem are gratefully welcomed. Doesn't look like it is a "regular" size --so not sure I can replace the whole thing with a "regular" water faucet rather than the faucet head/sprayer thing (I get technical)
Thanks
